The Rest of My Life

I smiled wryly to myself.

The people in this living room are Zhou Xun's closest family and friends. How can I let them see through me?

So I had to force myself to smile and pretend I didn't care.

Grandpa Zhou retracted his gaze and asked Ye Nantian, "Is this news true?"

Ye Nantian nodded.

Wen Chu followed up. "That bodyguard has already escaped. At present, we are still investigating him. We suspect that he was bribed by someone, and someone is directing him from behind."

It was not hard to guess. If it was just the bodyguard's scheme, Zhou Xun would have been able to quickly discern it. However, Zhou Xun still had yet to return home, which meant that he had been stumped by someone.

The bodyguard definitely did not have the ability to keep Zhou Xun behind the scenes. Someone must have ordered him to capture Zhou Xun using the fake news of Ye Beibei's kidnapping.

I didn't have time to think about how Zhou Xun would go through fire and water for Ye Beibei. I was very worried about his safety and was very afraid that he would be in danger.

The hall fell into silence once more. Most likely, everyone was worried for Zhou Xun as well.

I thought about it and said to Grandpa Zhou, "Grandpa, can you call Little An over? I have something I want to ask him."

Based on my understanding of Zhou Xun, he definitely has some tricks up his sleeve.

I think he must have told Zhou An something. It's just that he didn't want everyone to know, so he told Zhou An to hide the truth. Zhou An only listened to Zhou Xun's orders, so he didn't tell us.

Grandpa Zhou had someone call Zhou An over.

I asked directly, "Did Uncle Zhou tell you anything?"

Zhou An lowered his head and said, "..." "No."

I couldn't tell if he was lying or not, but I had to let him know how dangerous Zhou Xun was.

So I repeated the information about Ye Nantian and Wen Chu, saying, "Uncle Zhou should be telling you to hide the fact that he went to save Miss Ye, right? Now that we know, there's no need for you to hide it from us. "

Zhou An seemed surprised. He looked at Ye Nanzhou and Wen Chu.

Ye Nantian nodded and said, "My sister is fine. She must be being used to mislead Ah Xun. Ah Xun is in danger."

Zhou An took a deep breath and swept his gaze across the crowd, saying, "Third Young Master did remind me of a few things."

Everyone looked at him with burning eyes.

He turned his gaze towards me and said, "Third Young Master wants me to protect you well."

I was slightly surprised.

He paused before continuing, "Third young master also wanted me to tell the old man that if he discovers that something has happened to him, there's no need to panic. He'll think of a way to contact his family."

Did this mean that Zhou Xun already knew that he was in danger?

Everyone revealed a puzzled look.

Grandpa Zhou said, "Since that's the case, let's wait a little longer." He turned to Big Bro Zhou and Second Bro Zhou, "Of course, those who need to be investigated still need to be investigated."

Brother Zhou and Second Brother Zhou answered at the same time.

Ye Nantian said, "We will keep an eye out for any news about Ah Xun."

Grandpa Zhou said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Ye Nanzhou shook his head. He looked at me again, as if he wanted to say something, but he kept silent.

After that, he and Wen Chu left.

Grandpa Zhou turned to me and said, "You should go rest. Don't worry."

I knew they still had something to say and didn't want me to join in. I hummed.

Big Bro Zhou suddenly turned to Zhou An and said, "Since Ah Xun wants you to protect him, then you and Ah Ning will read it together."

I did not refuse.

Although I still have some grudges towards Zhou An, I still acknowledge his loyalty. He definitely won't harm me.

Seeing that I didn't object, Zhou An respectfully replied, "Yes."

When I returned to my room, I found that the bedroom was filled with Zhou Xun's scent.

Plus, I would inevitably think of Ye Beibei and feel worse about it, so I don't want to sleep anymore.

I lied on my bed and looked at the ceiling. I bitterly smiled. Sure enough, no matter what, as long as it involved Ye Bei Bei, Zhou Xun would throw his life away.

And I was only his second choice.

Last time he went to Switzerland to look for Ye Beibei, I chose to let this go and he promised that it wouldn't happen again.

But how much time had passed? Only a month had passed, and yet such a thing had happened.

What should I do this time?

I was in a daze until the early hours of the morning, when I managed to sleep a little.

I got up early the next day.

When I went downstairs, I found that Grandpa Zhou and Big Bro Zhou were there as well. Big Bro Zhou and Second Bro Zhou looked tired. They probably hadn't slept for the entire night just like me.

Big Brother Zhou looked at me and said, "It seems that you haven't had a good rest either. Why don't you stay at home today?"

I said hesitantly, "There are some matters in the laboratory …."

After breakfast, I decided to go to school.

Before I left, Big Brother Zhou and Second Brother Zhou might have been afraid that I would think too much and even talked to me for a while.

Big Bro Zhou said in a euphemistic manner, "Ah Xun, what he looks forward to the most is the child in your stomach. He won't leave the child alone, don't worry."

He must be telling me that Zhou Xun wouldn't choose Ye Beibei, but me instead, right?

I smiled but didn't say anything.

They forced me to stay calm, but once I got in the car, I couldn't hold it in anymore, tears were streaming down my face.

It was only a short message, but Zhou Xun had completely ignored it.

He had always been wise. It was impossible for him to not understand such a small scheme.

This only meant that he was too nervous about Ye Beibei.

If I hadn't remembered that I was on my way to school, I would have cried myself out.

When they reached the school, Senior Brother Wei came up to them and asked, "Are you alright?"

I thought he was worried about me because his eyes were swollen.

In the end, she heard him say, "Didn't you see the news online?"

I started.

Besides Zhou Xun being taken to the police station, were there any new rumors?

Could Zhou Xun's disappearance have been leaked?

But last night, Grandpa Zhou had his men block this news …

I quickly took out my cell phone and saw on the internet that Zhou Xun had been sentenced to ten years in prison.

This was too strange.

Who was the source of the rumor?

Just as I was about to explain the situation to Senior Brother Wei, two Senior Sisters walked over.

One of them glanced at me with disdain and said sarcastically, "You previously said you believed in Young Master Wednesday, but now that he has been sentenced, you should know now that you have trusted the wrong person, right?"

Senior brother Wei frowned and said, "It's not like you guys saw it with your own eyes, why are you so sure that he has been sentenced?"

Another senior sister pointed at me and said, "Look at her eyes, they're swollen from crying. It must be true." Without waiting for me to speak, she said aggressively, "If you don't want everyone to misunderstand, you can ask them to stop by the school on Wednesday. That way, the rumors will stop spreading."

Originally, this was a solution, but now that Zhou Xun is missing, where can I find him? I asked him to come and take a look around the school.

I lowered my eyes and said nothing.

Senior Sister cast a sidelong glance at me and said, "Are you afraid?"

Senior Martial Brother Wei looked at me and probably noticed my abnormality. He was silent for a few seconds and then said, "Whether or not you are sentenced on Wednesday, it doesn't seem to be your fault, does it?"

The two senior sisters raised their eyebrows. It seemed that they were about to start a fight.

Fortunately, Lu Shan and Lu Si came over to help me out.

I took the opportunity to go to the lab.

But I couldn't calm down.

Thus, at noon, I told Teacher Tang that I would be leaving the school in advance.

Instead of going home right away, I planned to go to the police station and ask Tao Zhizhou about the situation.

Zhou Xun disappeared outside the police station. I want to see the surveillance cameras.

Although Grandpa Zhou and the others have definitely received the information a long time ago, I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I wanted to take a look.

Tao Zhizhou happened to be at the police station. He probably guessed that I wanted to ask about Zhou Xun, so he brought up Zhou Xun as soon as we met.

He said, "Originally, I was also planning to look for you and tell you about the few matters on Wednesday."

I waited for him to continue.

He said, "I didn't interrogate him on Wednesday. That night, after I brought him back to the station with me, the higher-ups sent someone to take him away. Yesterday afternoon I knew he had been released, and I wanted to see him, but I heard he was in a hurry and had to leave. "After that, I don't know what happened anymore. If it wasn't for the Zhou family who came to find me yesterday, I wouldn't have known about his disappearance."

His words had a few meanings. Firstly, Zhou Xun was taken away by someone from the upper echelons after coming to the police station, which meant that someone from the upper echelons must have been paying attention to his case. Second week, Grandpa sent people to find him to understand the situation, but he also didn't know about Zhou Xun's disappearance, so I could only come empty-handed this time.

I secretly sighed. "…" I'm sorry to bother you. "

Tao Zhizhou shook his head. "If I have any news, I will contact the Zhou family."

I thanked him.

When I reached the door of the police station, I bumped into Shen Zixian.

When I greeted him, he looked rather bland.

My eyes were full of Zhou Xun, so I wasn't in the mood to chat with him.

But when I took a few steps he stopped me.

I looked back at him.

His gaze stopped on my face for a moment before he said, "Zi Ruo has already left the country."

I was silent for a few seconds, then let out a faint "Oh". I didn't know how to reply.

To me, it doesn't really matter if Shen Zi Ruo can go abroad now.

Anyway, I've already fallen out with the Shen family, so I'm afraid I won't be able to see her again.

Shen Zixian opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he kept silent.

I was preoccupied, so I didn't ask.

On the way back to the old house, I looked at Zhou Ning, who was driving, and Zhou An, who was sitting in the front passenger seat.

Zhou Ning and Zhou An glanced at each other, as if they were exchanging information.

I asked, "Is Uncle Zhou planning something?"

Although I felt that Zhou Xun might have fallen for being overly nervous about Ye Bei Bei, but reason told me that things might not be as simple as I thought.

Zhou Ning paused for a few seconds, then said: "Miss Nian, we really don't know what Third Young Master is doing."

Zhou An nodded.

They looked sincere, not like they were lying.

My heart couldn't help but sink. Could it be that Zhou Xun had really been kidnapped?

Zhou Ning looked at me from the rearview mirror and said: "If you have any doubts, you can ask the old man."
